To insert: wash your hands and rinse your Saalt cup. Roll the cup in a spiral as tightly as possible with the opening pointed up. While keeping a tight grip on the fold, insert the open end into your vagina and push it in. Once in place, let go and allow the cup's opening to pop open.
To remove: Wash your hands thoroughly with warm water and mild soap. You can stand, sit, or squat, but removing your cup is much easier if you are relaxed. The stem is not a pull tab, do not pull hard on the stem to remove. Use the stem as a guide to locate the grip rings and break the seal by pinching the base of the cup with your thumb and index finger. Do not pull on the stem. Wiggle the cup side to side as you gently pull it out. Keep it upright to avoid spilling. Holding your cup firmly, empty it into a toilet or sink. To avoid staining of the cup, it encouraged to rinse the cup with cold water and wash with mild soap between insertion. If you are in public it is ok to reinsert without rinsing and wash when you get home.
After Each Use: Rinse and re-insert, or if in public, re-insert and rinse when you return home. Soap isn't necessary, but if you do use soap, make sure it's gentle and fragrance-free so as to not irritate your sensitive parts.
Between Cycles: Wash with soap and water and store it in the provided pouch until next month! If you'd like to fully sterilize your Saalt cup, you can do so by boiling it for 5 minutes and removing it with tongs. Let your cup cool off and dry, then store it in your storage pouch.
